[Verse 1]
The station was empty, the trains were all gone
I reached in my pocket and I waited for dawn
[Refrain]
The clock played drums and I hummed the sax
And the wind whistled down the railroad tracks
Hey three for a quarter, one for a dime
I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time
[Verse 2]
I walked in the restaurant for something to do
The waitress yelled at me and so did the food
And the water tastes funny when you're far from your home
But it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam
[Refrain]
And the clock played drums and I hummed the sax
And the wind whistled down the railroad tracks
Hey three for a quarter, one for a dime
I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time
[Bridge]
We'll build us a castle on Main Street
And pretend that we're down on the farm
Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to
Then we'll twist off each other's arm
Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely
I can't even make friends with my brain
And I'm too young to be where I'm going
But I'm too old to go back again
[Verse 1]
The station was empty, the trains were all gone
I reached in my pocket, I waited for dawn
[Refrain]
The clock played drums and I hummed the sax
And the wind whistled down the railroad tracks
Hey three for a quarter, one for a dime
I'll bet it's tomorrow by Rocky Mountain time
[Outro]
By Rocky Mountain time
By Rocky Mountain time
By Rocky Mountain time
By Rocky Mountain time
